“…This finding was in agreement with that of Beyene and Verschuur (2014) and Sahle et al., 2018a , Sahle et al., 2018b . This result agrees with that of Yeserah et al. (2019) who found that licensing procedures, access to credit, market transparency, and experience in honey trading affect honey marketing.…”

The primary aim of this study was to identify factors influencing natural honey production and marketing constraints in Kafa, Sheka, Bench- Sheko, and West Omo zones which covered 23 woredas and 69 kebeles. Primary and secondary sources of data were utilized for this study. Both qualitative and quantitative data types were employed. Data were collected from 94, 134, 118, and 39 respondents that were selected randomly from Bench- Sheko, Kaffa, Sheka, and West-Omo Zones respectively, based on probability proportional to the sample size. The collected data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and a multiple linear regression model. The dominant honey production practice in the study area was the use of traditional beehives. The productivity of traditional, transitional, and modern beehives was 9, 16, and 22 kg per hive. Major constraints that affect honey production include lack of modern technology (92.5%), absconding (69.5%), pests and predators (46.8%), lack of credit access (28.3%), poor extension service (57.4%), lack of beekeeping equipment's (45.2%) and death of colony (38.05). Similarly, poor market linkage (84.1%), lack of market information (66.2%), poor infrastructure (61.5%), low price of product (60.7%), weak bargaining power of farmers (37.5%), long-distance to market (88.4%), shortage of packing and storage materials (57.6%), presence of illegal traders (53.5%) and absence of branding (60.3%) are factors that influence honey marketing in the study area. The econometric result showed that variable cost, age of the respondent, marital status, experience, and hive number owned influence the level of honey production. The policy should focus on creating access to modern honey bee technologies, providing capacity building for producers, organizing cooperatives, providing credit services, promoting the involvement of private sectors, establishing linkages among honey producers, researchers, and private sectors.

“…In Ethiopia, where there is a strong domestic market for honey, with 99% of its 47,706 tons of honey production in 2016 were for the domestic market, the structure and conduct of honey market have a direct implication on the nature of production, price relationships between different marketing levels, and direction of causality (Yeserah et al, 2019). The honey market structure, conduct, and performance analytical model were used by different researchers to understand how the behavior of honey sellers and buyers affects the honey market and affects the relationship between them.…”

“…These aspects are important to designing a marketing model for the domestic honey market. However, despite the strong domestic market for honey in the country, Yeserah et al (2019) raised the concern that there is a lack of documented information on what exactly the marketing system looks like, especially on the structure of the market, market actors, and market conduct and its impact on both local and export markets. Therefore, studying and understanding the status of honey marketing structure and conduct in a holistic manner along the market value chain is of immense importance for the future growth of the honey industry.…”

Due to its wide economic applications and low initial costs, stingless bee farming has a high potential to be developed as an economic empowerment program for the low income community in the rural area. Despite this, in-depth research focusing on the marketing aspects of stingless bee farming is still lacking resulting in a sub-optimal production level as well as low profitability of the stingless bee farms generally. This study aims to focus on the issues pertaining to marketing aspects of the stingless honey bee farming in order to develop a marketing model to position it as a sustainable economic empowerment program for the low income community in the rural areas.

“…The adulteration is not obvious to common users due to a lack of knowledge consumer about regulations, legislation, and detecting techniques. Adulterated honey is commonly labeled as natural and the price is identical to pure honey, which is dishonorable and unfair to the customers ( Chen et al, 2011 ) and had been common among local honey production and retail in Ethiopia ( Yeserah et al, 2019 ). In Ethiopia, it has been claimed that honey is adulterated during processing with table sugar, water, molasses, shebeb, ripe bananas, wheat flour syrup, potatoes, sweet potatoes, maize syrup, pollen, empty combs, and melting candy ( Ambaw and Teklehaimanot, 2018 ; Gemeda and Negera, 2017 ).…”
